Former Buckeye All-American Cam Tessari was attempting a transfer to Hofstra after leaving the Buckeyes last season, but is no longer with the team, according to Coach Rob Anspach.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Pat Altvater added to this discussion on March 11, 2014 Sad news on Cam. I enjoyed watching him when he was at OSU, a very exciting scrambling type wrestler. I do not know what personal demons he may have, but I wish him well and hope he finds peace in whatever new journey he may be on. He and Chris Phillips both had so much potential, but both are proof that it takes more to be successful student athletes than a good takedown.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Kevin Mount added to this discussion on March 11, 2014 While we are at it does anyone know the situations of Huston Evans or Chaz Gresham. Evans is not on VT roster and I thought Gresham was at OU but don't see him either.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Bob Preusse added to this discussion on March 11, 2014 Quote from Pat Altvater's post: " He and Chris Phillips both had so much potential, but both are proof that it takes more to be successful student athletes than a good takedown." ah Pat, as former Texas football coach Darrell Royal once said, "Potential is what u aint done yet." Was there EVER anywhere a better upperwt high school freshman or sophomore than Chris Phillips?? Anywhere. I don't know who would be considered better in that 170 range as a freshman/soph, let's say 160-182. Ever. Any state??        Discussion Topic: Tessari Mark Cummings added to this discussion on March 11, 2014 Seeing this earlier today made me a little sad. Really enjoyed watching his matches.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Roe Fox added to this discussion on March 11, 2014 Quote from Pat Altvater's post: "Sad news on Cam.

Not sure I'm willing to suggest demons but I am learning on this site from others who have wrestled in college the amount of dedication it takes to participate in school and athletics at the same time on the college level. Tessari's talent was entertaining and special.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Justin Hayes added to this discussion on March 11, 2014 Ty Mitch?        Discussion Topic: Tessari Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on March 11, 2014 If Tessari were still interested in wrestling, I think an ideal spot for him would be CSU. He needs to be in an environment where there is support--and he has plenty of friends in NE Ohio. CSU desperately needs a wrestler that can light up their program. A lineup that featured Willeford, McKinley, Shaw and Tessari might actually prove to be competitive.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Leo Zimmer added to this discussion on March 12, 2014 From Cam's Twitter feed on 3/4/2013 "Well it took me a while but I now know unless I get myself together I'm gonna continue to watch myself fall apart #gotime"        Discussion Topic: Tessari Jim Kessen added to this discussion on March 12, 2014 Quote from Bob Preusse's post: " Quote from Pat Altvater's post: " He and Chris Phillips both had so much potential, but both are proof that it takes more to be successful student athletes than a good takedown." ah Pat, as former Texas football coach Darrell Royal once said, "Potential is what u aint done yet."

My old wrestling coach also told me potential was wasted ability.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Pat Costilow added to this discussion on March 12, 2014 I think Ty Mitch is at OU, just not wrestling.        Discussion Topic: Tessari Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on March 12, 2014 I believe Houston Evans is attending Wright State University. Obviously not wrestling        Discussion Topic: Tessari Bob Preusse added to this discussion on March 13, 2014 did CSU have any NCAA quals?        Discussion Topic: Tessari Bill Splete added to this discussion on March 13, 2014 We have to reach out to these kids, does anyone know Cam or how to get a hold of him. I have a lot of experience with this situation(s), especially how it equates to present decisions effecting future results. If any one knows him, would you contact me through the website and I could reach out to see if this is possible. I don't believe in excuses but I understand his mind set, wont be a public thing other than reaching out. If anyone knows him let me know        Discussion Topic: Tessari Tony Brunetti added to this discussion on March 13, 2014 I find myself doing Tessari searches every few months to see what is going on with him. I find it tragic that his career started so great and is at the point of where it is now. I'm rooting for him for a comeback. OSU seemed like a very good fit for him. Being with his Monroeville guys, other Ohio guys, and not too far from home. I'm not sure of the off the mat incidents that might have lead to him not getting the starting job his sophomore year. However, up until the point where he was put on the bench for disciplinary reasons, I felt like he should have been the starter. I often wonder how much this played on his off the mat actions. Imagine being a returning AA as a true frosh and not knowing whether you were going to start or not. It appears that Paddock is a favorite of Ryan. And it is understandably so. Seems like a hard worker, great kid, and someone you would want to have as a leader. But I still feel, outside of any discipline actions, Tessari should've been the starter and always wonder what would have happened to him if he started his whole sophomore year. This isn't to make excuse for any actions that might have caused him to be put on the bench. But I think about this now and then and thought this thread would be a good place to throw my thoughts out on it.        ► Add to the Discussion Page 1, 2  Next
